Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method of operating a radio station, a method of operating a communication system, a radio station, and a communication system.
  • channel quality indicator (CQI) reports are transmitted from a mobile station (MS) to a base station (BS) in order to assist the BS in selecting an appropriate transmission format (e.g. modulation and coding scheme) for downlink data transmissions, and/or to assist the BS in scheduling data transmissions to different MSs.
  • UMTS Universal Mobile Telecommunication System
  • BS base station
  • CQI channel quality indicator
  • HSDPA HSDPA
  • UMTS Universal Mobile Telecommunication Standardization
  • HSDPA High Speed Downlink Packet Access
  • a signalling message to the MS at the start of the periodic reporting, and another signalling message when the period of the reporting is to be changed or the reporting terminated
  • An object of the invention is to provide improved signal quality reporting.
  • a method of operating a radio station comprising: receiving a first signal indicative of a scheduled resource which will be used to transmit a second signal to the radio station; and, in response to receiving the first signal, adapting the radio station to receive the second signal using the scheduled resource and, prior to receiving the second signal, transmitting an indication of received signal quality.
  • the invention is based on the realisation that, in a time-varying channel, efficient downlink scheduling and efficient use of adaptive modulation and coding requires up-to-date channel quality information, and that the first signal used to assign resource for transmission of a second signal can serve the additional implicit function of initiating transmission of an indication of received signal quality prior to the transmission of the second signal. In this way, the requirement for independent means of initiating the transmission of such indications is avoided, thereby improving reliability and increasing efficiency, and the indications can be more representative of the channel conditions at the time that the second signal is transmitted, also improving reliability and increasing efficiency.
  • a method of operating a communication system comprising a first radio station and a second radio station, comprising operating the first radio station in accordance with the first aspect of the invention, and at the second radio station: transmitting the first signal; receiving the indication of received signal quality transmitted by the first radio station; and employing the indication of received signal quality to select a transmission format for transmitting the second signal to the first radio station.
  • a radio station comprising: receiver means for receiving a first signal indicative of a scheduled resource which will be used to transmit a second signal to the radio station; and, control means responsive to receipt of the first signal for adapting the receiver to receive the second signal using the scheduled resource and, prior to receiving the second signal, for transmitting an indication of received signal quality.
  • a communication system comprising a first radio station in accordance with the third aspect of the invention and a second radio station, the second radio station comprising: transmitter means for transmitting the first signal; receiver means for receiving the indication of received signal quality transmitted by the first radio station; and control means adapted to employ the indication of received signal quality to select a transmission format for transmitting the second signal to the first radio station.
  • the first signal is indicative of a sequence of scheduled resources which will be used to transmit a sequence of second signals to the radio station; in response to receiving the first signal, the radio station is adapted to receive the second signals using the sequence of scheduled resources and, prior to receiving each second signal, transmit an indication of received signal quality.
  • the sequence may be periodic.
  • the radio station transmits the indication of received signal quality a predetermined time prior to receiving the or each second signal. This can be advantageous in ensuring that the indication of received signal quality is representative of the signal quality when the or each second signal is transmitted.
  • the radio station may refrain from transmitting the indication of received signal quality when the received signal quality complies with a predetermined criterion.
  • a predetermined criterion may be, as a first example, when the received signal quality is below a predetermined quality threshold, or as a second example, when the received signal quality has changed by no more than a predetermined amount in a predetermined time period.
  • Figure 1 is a block schematic diagram of a communication system
  • Figure 2 is a timing diagram illustrating the transmission of a resource allocation message, data packets, acknowledgements and CQI reports.
  • FIG. 1 there is illustrated a block schematic diagram of a communication system comprising a first radio station 100 and a second radio station 200.
  • the first radio station 100 comprises a receiver 40 for receiving resource scheduling signals and for receiving data packets transmitted by the second radio station 200.
  • the receiver 40 has an input coupled to an antenna 45 and an output coupled to a decoder 50 for decoding the received data packets.
  • the receiver 40 is adapted by a controller 80 in response to the resource scheduling signals to receive the data packets using the scheduled resources.
  • the receiver 40 may be activated at a scheduled time (and save power at other times), may be configured to receive on a prescribed frequency, or be configured to receive using a prescribed channelisation code.
  • Decoded data is delivered on an output 55 of the decoder.
  • Coupled to an output of the decoder 50 is a selector 60 that is adapted to select one of a plurality of responses, dependent on the outcome of decoding.
  • the selector 60 may select a positive acknowledgement, whereas if the decoding is unsuccessful, for example due to errors, the selector 60 may select a negative acknowledgement.
  • An output of the selector 60 is coupled to an input of an encoder 65 which encodes the response and delivers the encoded response to a transmitter 70 for transmission via the antenna 45 to the second radio station 200.
  • the receiver 40 delivers an indication of received signal quality to a controller 80 which generates a CQI report which is encoded by the encoder 65 and transmitted by the transmitter 70 to the second radio station 200.
  • the controller 80 is adapted to control the time of transmission of the CQI report. The timing of transmissions is described in detail below.
  • the second radio station 200 comprises an input 10 for receiving data for transmission, and an encoder 15 for encoding the data for transmission.
  • An output of the encoder 15 is coupled to an input of a transmitter 20, and an output of the transmitter is coupled to an antenna 25.
  • the controller 35 is further adapted to employ the received CQI report to select a transmission format, for example modulation and/or coding, for the transmission of a data packet.
  • the controller 35 is further adapted to select and schedule resources for transmission of the data packet, such as a time slot, a frequency, or a channelisation code.
  • CQI may additionally or alternatively comprise an indication of one or more characteristics of a radio channel, such as channel state, channel transfer function, angle of arrival, channel impulse response or path loss.
  • the resource allocation signal R is transmitted at time t 0 .
  • the data packet D1 is transmitted at time t 2 .
  • the first radio station 100 transmits a CQI report at time t
  • the received signal quality indicated by the CQI report is representative of the channel conditions when the data packet D1 is transmitted.
  • the data packet D1 is decoded successfully by the first radio station 100 and in response a positive acknowledgement ACK is transmitted at time t 3 .
  • the process may be repeated when a new data packet is required to be transmitted.
  • the resource scheduling signal R may be used to indicate a sequence of resources (which may optionally be periodic), thereby avoiding a sequence of transmissions of resource scheduling signals. This is illustrated in Figure 2 by the transmission of a second data packet D2 at time t 5 , with the associated CQI report just preceding at time t 4 and the response acknowledgement being transmitted at time t 6 .
  • the radio station transmits the CQI report a predetermined time prior to receiving the data packet, t 2 -ti and t 5 -t 4 .
